A lot of easily correctable mistakes. KJ closing out the game needed to play more controlled and less forced. Overall excited for the next game and season. This team can still be quite special.
Final moments of this game looked like we are tanking for Sarr in 2024

Dubious calls much of the game. The donkey and Williams get away with murder. The Wemby vanish on offense at the end was obviously baffling. Sochan needs to finish better he missed too many bunnies. KJ attacking in the paint is not the go to, he’s too undersized for that. Grandstanding refs all game. Lots of dirty trickster play from a veteran opposing team.
But Wemby showed he can explode any moment and take over a game. On to the next one!
Bas stat. Cedi plays almost the whole game with Wemby on the bench. Doug did to. Cedi might be a "minus" most games cause he going to be playing with a bench unit thats probably going to be bad on defense
One thing is glaringly obvious: This team is still devoid of top-end talent.
We honestly need to suck ass again this year tbh. Only way we’re going to get elite talent is in the lottery. That’s what needs to happen, cause this team desperately needs some.
Run the offense through Vassell and Wemby. Wayyy too much other stuff going on.
The fouls killed us. Tre was better at PG than Sochan tonight. But Tre can't really guard Kyrie or Luka. Keldon also just has physical limitations when it comes to guarding guys like Luka.
I'm not going to take too much away from this game other than that. It was a winnable game and a few things just didn't go our way.
It's fun watching this place turn into Clutchfans after less than one game.re s.

Wright is a reacher, results have not been great.
Agreed, Trey was running it decent, but yeah he'll just get crushed by guys like Luka on defense.
Mavs -4.5
Vegas needed the Mavs tonight and long time NBA official Tony Brothers delivered.
Oh and knock off the point Sochan experiment and give the ball to Jones.
This team just isn’t that good we need more talent people just need to just enjoy the process. For me just going to really focus on watching Wemby and Vassell every other player is replaceable. So looking forward to seeing them two grow and hopefully the basket ball Gods like us again and we get a high lottery pick and the icing on the cake would be Toronto pick falling in the 7 to 9 range.
Nobody is expecting the Spurs to do anything better than make a play-in game, but Wemby only gets one opening night and I think a lot of us wanted it to go well. Between stupid officials and ball hog guards leaving him out of the offense especially towards the end it was frustrating.
How insecure of a person must you be to post something like that?
Tbh it’s far more important that he learns to shoot the 3 at a decent clip. Because teams are going to be crowding Wemby in the paint and daring Jeremy to shoot it all season long.
You’ve made the dumbest posts tonight so far. Maybe stop being an emotional vagina. “Sochan is the worst starter I’ve seen.”
If only we had Dame on the floor during crunch time tbh![]()
I knew when the spurs never even tried to get lillard that this would happen…
but on the other hand….its just one game and wemby was never allowed to play ..refs did call legit fouls on wemby but on the other hand williams was allowed to foul at will and spurs got ticky tacked to death…
this will still be a decent team and wemby will learn how to stay out of foul trouble- step 1 was tonite as he did not disrespect any ref and being the respectful pro that he is the refs will soon feel comfortable calling fairly
a few flashes when wemby came back in is encouraging and sochan will also get better
i dont mind sochan on the floor - he needs minutes and after some growing pains- he WILL pay off
tre jones played well but hopefully pop does not overreact and pull sochan
stay the course - it will take a little bit and then wemby will dominate
If spurs can't win, you want them to lose like this. Tied game with 2 mins left and then watch Luka show how to close out a game, while we forced the action. That's how you grow as a team. Bit by bit, hopefully we can fix things here and there.
Game was fine honestly. Lots of good signs and just a very young team that got outplayed by the best player in the game at the end. This team is going to need to learn how to close out games but that's a process. Way more good than bad tonight and lots to build of off. Y'all gotta keep the hype in check. He's going to need to learn all kinds of lessons and this is how that happens.
Sohan too ing soft... Go up and dunk the ball like a man and stop throwing up pussy ass layups...
It was a shame to see Donkey push off on that last shot and the refs swallow their whistles given all the BS calls they made to that point. Though Sochan was a bit indecisive on that rebound I thought he was probably fouled there too. It seemed like every long offensive rebound went right to the Mavs and the total opposite on the other end. Mavs got more than their share of bounces all night it seemed. Would be nice for someone like Champagnie to develop to replace most of Osman and McDermott’s minutes.
As far as the Sochan PG experiment complaints I get it, but if he finishes better at the rim I think we feel better about him. Wemby and Vassell seemed like the go tos down the stretch, instead we got others playing hero ball and/or just chucking. Jones clearly was the hot hand compared to Sochan at the end though.
Speaking of insecure people.
One game guys. One game.
It's too early to be making big pronouncements about this team in any direction, good or bad
